From an article on the Record & Clarion website:

Students learning Automotive Technology in the Clare-Gladwin Career & Technical Education program will continue to enter the workforce prepared, experienced – and certified.  

That last part is especially important, so CTE officials were pleased to learn that the auto program recently attained re-certification with the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation. To achieve this coveted recognition, the CTE Auto Tech program underwent rigorous evaluation by NATEF, which employs nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas such as instruction, facilities and equipment.

“For our students, this gives them a head start to a successful career,” said Instructor Rich Hollister. “All dealerships require employees to meet Automotive Service Excellence standards, and the NATEF training program gives them the skills required to be ASE-certified. NATEF is a nationwide certification program, so our students can use those credentials throughout the U.S. to gain employment.”
